episode 173: if your diet worked, why do you have to keep going back to it?
We often talk about things "working" for us, especially in the realm of diets. But if we have to go back to them over and over, did they really work?
This episode is a bit of a thought experiment on what it truly means for something to work, especially when it comes to dieting and weight loss. I ponder the concept of 'working' not as a short-term fix but as a long-term solution.
I ask some tough questions – like why we chase temporary fixes and ignore the deeper, more permanent solutions. It's about shifting our focus from the immediate gratification of quick results to the enduring satisfaction of real, lasting change. How often have we returned to a diet that "worked" before, only to find ourselves back at square one? Does it really work to lose weight without a diet?
This conversation is really about challenging our definitions of success and pushing ourselves to think beyond the next quick fix. It's about learning, growing, and maybe even accepting a bit of discomfort now for a lot more happiness later.
Episodes 167 and 168 are two great listens to learn more about how to lose weight without a diet.
